Sara just brought in an awesome  collection of vintage clock faces with hand painted enamel dials and brass trim.  I just knew I had to have one and it occurred to me yesterday how I would display it.  At first I thought I would hang it on the wall with another “eclectic” group of things, but I was later inspired to do this.  I framed an old book page and attached the clock face to the outside of the glass.  At first I used earthquake wax but it slid so I used some mounting putty (removable of course).  What do you think?

Come see us soon!!!  Sara is bringing in new inventory every day, and next week we will have some wonderful vintage Christmas items.

Remember way-back-when in school when you had “Show and Tell” every Friday? Well, it’s show and tell time at Sheppard Street Antiques! Personally, I kind of got carried away when Dennis (Sara’s husband) started making all of those beautiful terrariums and succulent dish gardens. Yes, REALLY carried away. Then, last week when I was working at the shop I spied this wonderful half round, two tier plant stand. It immediately hit me. I could put this plant stand in my bay window in my kitchen and display all of my plants, terrariums, and dish gardens!  What do you think?

So, today I’m asking you to share your latest find from Sheppard Street Antiques and show us how it looks in your home. Take a pic and email it to sheppardstreetantiques@gmail.com and you could be featured on our blog.

And, don’t forget that tomorrow, Saturday, October 29th, is “All Treats, No Tricks” day at Sheppard Street Antiques. Sara has made mini cupcakes and cider so come by and get your treat and see our latest inventory.

Leave it to Sara and Wendy to find the craziest, most unique thing we have seen in a LONG time. While Sara always seems to come up with fabulous ways to repurpose, even she was stumped with this one, hence it was dubbed the “Time Out Chair”, aka the “Cruel Chair”. Kafka would be proud…
p.s. Don’t forget to check out our new finds in the “Browse” section.
